At a bowling alley, there are certain skills that most people need in order to bowl. These types of skills include bowling etiquette, how to keep manual score and what procedures you have to abide by. If you learn these simple skills, your experience bowling will be much enhanced.  

Bowling Etiquette:

In bowling there are certain unspoken rules that people should follow. One rule is that if you and the person next you in the next lane are about to bowl, let the person to the right of you go first. This allows for greater concentration on throwing the ball and getting a better score. 

Another rule is that your own shoes from outside that you wore should not touch the bowling lanes part. Make sure that you change into your bowling shoes before you step onto the specially designed bowling surface. This will prevent moisture from getting onto the floor and will decrease the sliding ability that bowlers need to gain momentum when they bowl. 

Also if you are in a crowded bowling lanes, you should only choose one or two bowling balls to use and keep at your lane. You should return any that you are not using. This will allow other people a wider range of balls to choose from that they feel the most comfortable with. 

Kepping Manual Score:

keeping score in bowling manually seems to be a lost art. Nowadays everyone uses the electronic computers that bowling lanes have to keep tack of their score. But for anyone who wants to learn how to keep track of your score hears how:

In each bowling frame there are two tiny boxes at the top of the big frame box. The first one you write how many pins you knocked down on your first bowl attempt. The second box you write down if you have knocked any more pins down and record it in the second tiny box. Then total the score and put it in the big box. After each frame you bowl, record the amount of pins you knock down. But in the big frame box add the pins and put your current total score.
